Fantasy Tip: It looks like Castillo is the third catcher on the depth chart at this point, so it would help his value if he is traded. At this point, Castillo should not be an option in drafts but would have value if he becomes a starting catcher elsewhere.

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said the organization will look to strengthen their catching situation during the winter meetings next week, even though he expressed confidence in C Welington Castillo. "Catching is one of the few areas on the field where we can add some veteran leadership - in the near term, anyway - and not block a potential impact player," Epstein said. "That's a scenario we'll continue to look at. If you can have two good catchers, that's certainly better than one."

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs C Welington Castillo (rib) is considered day-to-day because of a rib contusion. Manager Rick Renteria said Castillo underwent an MRI or X-rays, but the team does not know the results at this point.
